Look under "Start" > "All Programs" > "Accessories".
Both Notepad and Wordpad are basic word processors.

An improved version of WordPad is Cetus CWordPad which you can download from

Have you purchased and installed a word processing application? Did
the software bundle included when you purchased the computer include a
word processor? We can't see your computer, so we have no way of
knowing what applications you may or may not have installed unless you
tell us.

Windows XP, as an operating system, naturally has no word processing
capability. It does come with two rudimentary text editors, NotePad and
WordPad, shortcuts to which would be located under Start > All Programs
Accessories.

Windows XP is an operating system not a Word processor
Though as John directed you Notepad and Word pad can give you basic
wordprocessor functionality they are not really word processor programs
You may have MSworks on your computer or Coral Wordperfect suite . If not
then you would need to purchase a wordprocessor or an office suite
Like Works Wordperfect or Ms Office
 
Thank you so much for the advice.I did not see the all programs icon and this
has now opened a new world to me.
(Told you I was new to computing) Thanks so much

No, neither application is really a word processor. They're simple
text editors.

You may be right, although my son's schoolwork requirements "out-grew"
WordPad's limited capabilities before he'd even finished elementary
school. (Works Suite got him through middle school, and now that he's
in high school, Office does the trick.)
